About Us
In 1911, Charles C. Gates acquired a tire and rubber company and set up shop in Denver, Colorado. A few years later, Gates invented the V-belt, which revolutionized power transmission. This was only the start of things to come. We went on to introduce countless other innovations in power transmission and fluid power that have impacted virtually every industry. Over a century later, we still call Denver home, but that small family-owned business has grown into a power transmission and fluid power products and solutions. A lot has changed over the last hundred years, but one thing hasn’t: we remain dedicated to moving the world forward.
